NX6 GOAL SEEK

WHY I NEED TO USE GOAL SEEK ?
Goal Seeking in NX software offers a fast built-in method for
solving complex engineering problems. By drawing and
dimensioning ! free-body diagrams" Goal Seeking removes
much of the burden of solving common engineering problems.
#ostly alternative solutions involve doing calculations by hand
by writing specific e$uations and manually iterating through
them" or by entering e$uations in spreadsheets and ad%usting
variables until the desired result is obtained. &xtreme
alternative cases re$uire constructing and testing physical
prototypes.

!ifficulties arise when users iterate through those calculations
as changes occur or when they try to optimi'e a system by
varying an input variable .
( common example is determining the location of a set of
pulleys for a power transmission application. )hile it*s not too
hard to lay out the components" simply changing a pulley
diameter or increasing tension is where problems begin
+remembering that in most cases belts are purchased at a fixed
length,.

NX provides a handy tool to simplify such problem solving
with a familiar free-body diagram approach. 2sers simply
sketch the system in !" add some dimensions and any
defining constraints and the systems solves for the desired
parameter 3 hence the term Goal Seeking.
NX computes and stores the most common measurements
such as distance" angles" perimeters and areas for fast
problem definition" and includes intrinsic functions for doing
math and trig operations needed in complex e$uations.
(n added benefit with Goal Seeking is that the results can
ultimately control the si'e and position of 4! geometry and
components" thus retaining the initial intelligence throughout
the design process.

6he solution offered by NX is uni$ue in the industry because
it is integrated into the ! and 4! solve process. -thers #(!
solutions often rely on add-on ?calculators@ that are licensed
from third parties and aren*t built into the solve process"
hence re$uiring the user to force an update.

&ngineers are constantly faced with solving tough problems
and the buck often stops with them. 0tAs important that they
have efficient and reliable tools to provide answers that
%ustify their confidence. Goal Seeking in NX does %ust that 3
by providing powerful problem solver tools that are
integrated with a 4! modeling system. 2sing a familiar !
free-body diagram approach to define the problem"
engineers with NX have a fast" easy way to solve complex
problems 3 the perfect formula for faster product
development.
